I've lent my car to friends for road trip and its broken down. Its lpg auii falcon. and apparently it lost power and stopped on a hill. There apparently was water leaking in the passenger footwell area prior to breaking down as well.
There is water and oil in the car and the engine doesn't seem overhot nor reads as overhot. Apparently the car starts and shortly after starting it stops again.
Any tips on getting it started!

If it still has a petrol tank, put petrol in it. Of course remember to switch it over to petrol as well. Just hope the battery doesn't go flat before the petrol gets through.

I am not with the car its 140km from home. They wouldnt know how to check spark, injector pulse and have said there is about 1/4 tank of gas in it.
They were certain there was not coolant in the water and it wasn't hot.
My brother is a mechanic and is heading down there to see what he can do but I don't think he is familiar with lpg setups.

Its a factory lpg car, no petrol tank. I am wondering if its somehow gotten water in the tank or lines or an airlock
